Recent versions of kmail / akonadi plays so badly with gmail that it is
extremely irritating and the practical solution for me is restarting akonadi
many times a day using akonadictl restart
This is really annoying not least because spams my desktop three times with
the following unwelcome message,
"We're sorry, No such method 'agentName' in Interface
'org.freeedesktop.Akonadi.AgentManager' at objewct path..."
and only after this message is dismissed three times I get any progress.
Unless someone knows a magic cure for this problem, and it has been
extensively reported in the akonadi bug section, what I would like is a nicer
way to keep my email working.
I can pkill akonadi_imap to restart akonadi_imap_resource which works nicely.
It is quick, lightweight and silent and easily move to a cronjob, BUT, after
three times akonadi_imap_resource will not restart and it is back to
akonadictl restart.
- If I could increase the limit of three times I can kill _impa_res before
akonadi decides is duff and won't restart it that would be great.
- If I could restart akonadi_imap_resource somehow that would be great.
- If akonadictl could simply restart one component (imap_resource) that would
be great.
- If akonadictl could be persuaded not to spam up my desktop with this
nonsensical error message that would be great.
- If you have suggestions for another way around the akonadi / gmail bug that
would be great.
- If you know if clementine or another kmail replacement is around that would
be great.
- If you know how I can get thunderbird to dock nicely, announce new emails
and not quit when I press the X button that would be great.
Basically _anything_ to get my email working as it should be.
Akoanadi is the bane of my computing life and trying to get bugs fixed is,
well pointless. I hope someone is working on something better for the next
version of kde!
Thanks,
SA
